The MXL Team
General Characteristics
This microphone has an internal vacuum tube preamp. As tubes are well
known to generate heat, it is recommended that the V69 be in an inverted
position to prevent excess heat from altering the diaphragm
characteristics during continuous usage. For this reason, always take
extra care to insure that the V69 is securely seated in the included
shockmount. Additionally, do not “hot plug” the mic. Always make sure
that the power supply is off when plugging and unplugging the included
seven-pin mic cable from the microphone. Large capsule tube
condensers are very sensitive, readily revealing very subtle sonic details.
They also tend to pick up sounds outside the pattern more than some
designs, which can lead to powerful feedback if you are not careful. We
strongly advise experimentation with placement and isolation
requirements with the gain initially set low to avoid equipment (and
hearing) damage!
Contents
Unpack your MXL V67Q STEREO microphone carefully and verify that all
of the following items are included:
•MXL V67Q STEREO microphone
•10’ Stereo XLR cable

Power Requirement
IMPORTANT - This unit requires the dedicated power supply. This supply
is switchable between 115 volts and 230 volts AC. In the United States,
make sure that the switch on the back of the supply is set to 115. Every
Marshall Electronics MXL mic has been thoroughly checked before
shipping; so if you don’t hear sound, check that the power supply is
switched on.
Microphone Cable
The microphone cable can have a profound effect on the sound of
any microphone. Even the finest microphone will sound poor if the
interconnect cable allows noise to enter or causes distortion and loss of
information. We recommend that you use the best microphone cable that
your budget will allow.

Care
Dust and foreign material can reduce the performance of a microphone
over time, so you should store the MXL V67Q STEREO in its case when
not in use.
Shock Mount
The MXL shock mount can shift in shipment. Simply shift the nylon bands
to center the microphone in the assembly. Be sure that the wire clamp
does not rest on the chassis of the mount, as this impairs mechanical
isolation. Slide the mount all the way to the rim of the microphone for the
most secure hold.
